1. FIELD

The disclosure relates to Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds, compositions comprising an effective amount of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound and methods to treat or prevent a condition, such as pain, comprising administering to an animal in need thereof an effective amount of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound.

2. BACKGROUND

Chronic pain is a major contributor to disability and is the cause of much suffering. The successful treatment of severe and chronic pain is a primary goal of the physician, with opioid analgesics being preferred drugs for doing so.

Three major classes of opioid receptors in the central nervous system (CNS) have long been known, with each class having subtype receptors. These receptor classes are known as μ, κ and δ. As opiates have a high affinity for these receptors while not being endogenous to the body, research followed in order to identify and isolate the endogenous ligands to these receptors. These ligands were identified as endorphins, dynorphins and enkephalins, respectively.

Experimentation eventually led to the identification of a cDNA encoding an opioid receptor-like (ORL-1) receptor with a high degree of homology to the known receptor classes. The ORL-1 receptor was classified as an opioid receptor based only on structural grounds, as the receptor did not exhibit pharmacological homology. It was initially demonstrated that non-selective ligands having a high affinity for μ, κ and δ receptors had low affinity for the ORL-1 receptor. This characteristic, along with the fact that an endogenous ligand had not yet been discovered, led to the term “orphan receptor.” See, e.g., Henderson et al., “The orphan opioid receptor and its endogenous ligand—nociceptin/orphanin FQ,” Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 18(8):293-300 (1997).

Subsequent research led to the isolation and structure of the endogenous ligand of the ORL-1 receptor (i.e., nociceptin; also known as orphanin FQ (OFQ)). This ligand is a seventeen amino acid peptide structurally similar to members of the opioid peptide family.

The discovery of the ORL-1 receptor presents an opportunity in drug discovery for novel compounds that can be administered for pain management or other syndromes modulated by this receptor.

In certain instances, the solvate can be isolated, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. Thus, “solvate”, as used herein, encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. An Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound of the disclosure can be present as a solvated form with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, such as water, methanol, ethanol, and the like, and it is intended that the disclosure include both solvated and unsolvated Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound forms. As “hydrate” relates to a particular subgroup of solvates, i.e., where the solvent molecule is water, hydrates are included within the solvates of the disclosure.

Preparation of solvates is known in the art. For example, Caira et al., “Preparation and Crystal Characterization of a Polymorph, a Monohydrate, and an Ethyl Acetate Solvate of the Antifungal Fluconazole,” J. Pharmaceut. Sci., 93(3):601-611 (2004), describes the preparation of solvates of fluconazole with ethyl acetate and with water. Similar preparations of solvates, hemisolvate, hydrates, and the like are described by Van Tonder et al., “Preparation and Physicochemical Characterization of 5 Niclosamide Solvates and 1 Hemisolvate,” AAPS Pharm. Sci. Tech., 5(1):Article 12 (2004), and Bingham et al., “Over one hundred solvates of sulfathiazole,” Chem. Comm., pp. 603-604 (2001). In one embodiment, a non-limiting, process involves dissolving the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound in a desired amount of the desired solvent (organic, water or mixtures thereof) at temperatures above about 20° C. to about 25° C., cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals, and isolating the crystals by known methods, e.g., filtration. Analytical techniques, for example, infrared spectroscopy, can be used to show the presence of the solvent in a crystal of the solvate.

The compounds disclosed herein also comprise all prodrugs of the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds. “Prodrugs” are known in the art and, while not necessarily possessing any pharmaceutical activity as such, are considered to be any covalently bonded carrier(s) that releases the active parent drug in vivo. In general, such prodrugs will be a functional derivative of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound of Formula (I) which is readily convertible in vivo, e.g., by being metabolized, into the required Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound of Formula (I). Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described in, for example, Bundgaard, ed., Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier, Amsterdam (1985); Colowick et al., “Drug and Enzyme Targeting, Part A,” Widder et al., eds., Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 112, Academic Press (1985); Bundgaard, “Design and Application of Prodrugs,” A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krogsgaard-Larsen and Bundgaard, eds., Harwood Academic Publishers, Chapter 5, pp. 113-191 (1991); Bundgaard et al., “(C) Means to Enhance Penetration (1) Prodrugs as a means to improve the delivery of peptide drugs,” Adv. Drug Delivery Revs. 8:1-38 (1992); Bundgaard et al., “Glycolamide Esters as Biolabile Prodrugs of Carboxylic Acid Agents: Synthesis, Stability, Bioconversion, and Physicochemical Properties,” J. Pharmaceut. Sci. 77(4):285-298 (1988); and Kakeya et al., “Studies on Prodrugs of Cephalosporins. I. Synthesis and Biological Properties of Glycyloxygenzoyloxymethyl and Glycylaminobenzoyloxymethyl Esters of 7β-[2-(2-Aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]3-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic Acid,” Chem. Pharm. Bull. 32:692-698 (1984).

Radiolabeled compounds of the disclosure can be prepared by methods known in the art. For example, tritiated Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds can be prepared by introducing tritium into the particular Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound, for example, by catalytic dehalogenation with tritium. This method can include reacting a suitably halogen-substituted precursor of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound with tritium gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst, for example, Pd/C, in the presence or absence of a base. Other suitable methods for preparing tritiated compounds can be found in Filer, “The Preparation and Characterization of Tritiated Neurochemicals,” Isotopes in the Physical and Biomedical Sciences, Vol. 1, Labeled Compounds (Part A), E.

In another embodiment, an effective amount of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound can be used to treat or prevent any condition treatable or preventable by activating the ORL-1 receptor. Examples of Conditions that are treatable or preventable by activating the ORL-1 receptor include, but are not limited to, pain, anxiety, cough, diarrhea, blood pressure disorder (via vasodilation and via diuresis), epilepsy, anorexia/cachexia, urinary incontinence, and drug abuse.

The Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds can be used to treat or prevent acute or chronic pain. Examples of pain that can be treated or prevented using an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound include, but are not limited to, cancer pain, neuropathic pain, labor pain, myocardial infarction pain, pancreatic pain, colic pain, post-operative pain, headache pain, muscle pain, arthritic pain, and pain associated with a periodontal disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis.

The Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds can also be used to treat or prevent pain associated with inflammation or with an inflammatory disease in an animal. Such pain can arise where there is an inflammation of the body tissue which can be a local inflammatory response or a systemic inflammation. For example, an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound can be used to treat or prevent pain associated with inflammatory diseases including, but not limited to, organ transplant rejection; reoxygenation injury resulting from organ transplantation (see Grupp et al., “Protection against Hypoxia-reoxygenation in the Absence of Poly (ADP-ribose) Synthetase in Isolated Working Hearts,” J. Mol. Cell Cardiol. 31:297-303 (1999)) including, but not limited to, transplantation of the heart, lung, liver, or kidney; chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints, including arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and bone diseases associated with increased bone resorption; inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ileitis, ulcerative colitis, Barrett's syndrome, and Crohn's disease; inflammatory lung diseases, such as asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic obstructive airway disease; inflammatory diseases of the eye, including corneal dystrophy, trachoma, onchocerciasis, uveitis, sympathetic ophthalmitis and endophthalmitis; chronic inflammatory disease of the gum, including gingivitis and periodontitis; tuberculosis; leprosy; inflammatory diseases of the kidney, including uremic complications, glomerulonephritis and nephrosis; inflammatory disease of the skin, including sclerodermatitis, psoriasis and eczema; inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, including chronic demyelinating diseases of the nervous system, multiple sclerosis, AIDS-related neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's disease, infectious meningitis, encephalomyelitis, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and viral or autoimmune encephalitis; autoimmune diseases, including Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus; diabetic complications, including, but not limited to, diabetic cataract, glaucoma, retinopathy, nephropathy (such as microalbuminuria and progressive diabetic nephropathy), gangrene of the feet, atherosclerotic coronary arterial disease, peripheral arterial disease, nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma, foot ulcers, joint problems, and a skin or mucous membrane complication (such as an infection, a shin spot, a candidal infection or necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum), immune-complex vasculitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); inflammatory disease of the heart, such as cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease hypercholesterolemia, and artherosclerosis; as well as various other diseases that can have significant inflammatory components, including preeclampsia, chronic liver failure, brain and spinal cord trauma, and cancer. An Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound can also be used to treat or prevent pain associated with inflammatory disease that can, for example, be a systemic inflammation of the body, exemplified by gram-positive or gram negative shock, hemorrhagic or anaphylactic shock, or shock induced by cancer chemotherapy in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g., shock associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines. Such shock can be induced, e.g., by a chemotherapeutic agent that is administered as a treatment for cancer.

The Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds can also be used to treat or prevent pain associated with nerve injury (i.e., neuropathic pain). Chronic neuropathic pain is a heterogenous disease state with an unclear etiology. In chronic neuropathic pain, the pain can be mediated by multiple mechanisms. This type of pain generally arises from injury to the peripheral or central nervous tissue. The syndromes include pain associated with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, phantom pain, causalgia, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy and lower back pain. The chronic pain is different from acute pain in that chronic neuropathic pain patients suffer the abnormal pain sensations that can be described as spontaneous pain, continuous superficial burning and/or deep aching pain. The pain can be evoked by heat-, cold-, and mechano-hyperalgesia, or by heat-, cold-, or mechano-allodynia.

Chronic neuropathic pain can be caused by injury or infection of peripheral sensory nerves. It includes, but is not limited to, pain from peripheral nerve trauma, herpes virus infection, diabetes mellitus, causalgia, plexus avulsion, neuroma, limb amputation, and vasculitis. Neuropathic pain can also be caused by nerve damage from chronic alcoholism, human immunodeficiency virus infection, hypothyroidism, uremia, or vitamin deficiencies. Stroke (spinal or brain) and spinal cord injury can also induce neuropathic pain. Cancer-related neuropathic pain results from tumor growth compression of adjacent nerves, brain, or spinal cord. In addition, cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can cause nerve injury. Neuropathic pain includes but is not limited to pain caused by nerve injury such as, for example, the pain from which diabetics suffer.

The Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds can be used to treat or prevent a migraine including, but not limited to, migraine without aura (“common migraine”), migraine with aura (“classic migraine”), migraine without headache, basilar migraine, familial hemiplegic migraine, migrainous infarction, and migraine with prolonged aura.

The pharmaceutical excipient can be saline, gum acacia, gelatin, starch paste, talc, keratin, colloidal silica, urea, and the like. In addition, auxiliary, stabilizing, thickening, lubricating, and coloring agents can be used. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is sterile when administered to an animal. Water is a particularly useful excipient when an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid excipients, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients also include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol, and the like. The compositions, if desired, can also contain minor amounts of wetting or emulsifying agents, or pH buffering agents. Specific examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients that can be used to formulate oral dosage forms are described in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, (Amer. Pharmaceutical Ass'n, Washington, D.C., 1986), incorporated herein by reference.

The compositions can take the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, tablets, pills, pellets, capsules, capsules containing liquids, powders, sustained-release formulations, suppositories, emulsions, aerosols, sprays, suspensions, or any other form suitable for use. In one embodiment, the composition is in the form of a capsule (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,698,155). Other examples of suitable pharmaceutical excipients are described by Radebough et al., “Preformulation,” pp. 1447-1676 in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences Vol. 2 (Gennaro, ed., 19^(th) Ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, Pa., 1995), incorporated herein by reference.

In one embodiment, the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds are formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a composition adapted for oral administration to human beings. An Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound to be orally delivered can be in the form of tablets, capsules, gelcaps, caplets, lozenges, aqueous or oily solutions, suspensions, granules, powders, emulsions, syrups, or elixirs, for example. When an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is incorporated into oral tablets, such tablets can be compressed, tablet triturates, enteric-coated, sugar-coated, film-coated, multiply compressed or multiply layered. Techniques and compositions for making solid oral dosage forms are described in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets (Lieberman et al., eds., 2^(nd) Ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1989 & 1990). Techniques and compositions for making tablets (compressed and molded), capsules (hard and soft gelatin) and pills are also described by King, “Tablets, Capsules, and Pills,” pp. 1553-1593 in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Osol, ed., 16^(th) Ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, Pa., 1980).

Liquid oral dosage forms include aqueous and nonaqueous solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and solutions and/or suspensions reconstituted from non-effervescent granules, optionally containing one or more suitable solvents, preservatives, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, diluents, sweeteners, coloring agents, flavoring agents, and the like. Techniques and composition for making liquid oral dosage forms are described in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Disperse Systems (Lieberman et al., eds., 2^(nd) Ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1996 & 1998).

When an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is to be injected parenterally, it can be, e.g., in the form of an isotonic sterile solution. Alternatively, when an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is to be inhaled, it can be formulated into a dry aerosol or can be formulated into an aqueous or partially aqueous solution.

An orally administered Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound can contain one or more agents, for example, sweetening agents such as fructose, aspartame or saccharin; flavoring agents such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry; coloring agents; and preserving agents, to provide a pharmaceutically palatable preparation. Moreover, where in tablet or pill form, the compositions can be coated to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract thereby providing a sustained action over an extended period of time. Selectively permeable membranes surrounding an osmotically active driving compound are also suitable for orally administered compositions. In these latter platforms, fluid from the environment surrounding the capsule is imbibed by the driving compound, which swells to displace the agent or agent composition through an aperture. These delivery platforms can provide an essentially zero order delivery profile as opposed to the spiked profiles of immediate release formulations. A time-delay material such as glycerol monostearate or glycerol stearate can also be used. Oral compositions can include standard excipients such as mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, and magnesium carbonate. In one embodiment, the excipients are of pharmaceutical grade.

In another embodiment, the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds can be formulated for intravenous administration. In certain embodiments, compositions for intravenous administration comprise sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary, the compositions can also include a solubilizing agent. An Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound for intravenous administration can optionally include a local anesthetic such as benzocaine or prilocaine to lessen pain at the site of the injection. Generally, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed, for example, with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is administered by injection, an ampule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients can be mixed prior to administration.

An Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound can be administered by controlled-release or sustained-release means or by delivery devices that are known to those in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,845,770, 3,916,899, 3,536,809, 3,598,123, 4,008,719, 5,674,533, 5,059,595, 5,591,767, 5,120,548, 5,073,543, 5,639,476, 5,354,556, and 5,733,566, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Such dosage forms can be used to provide controlled- or sustained-release of one or more active ingredients using, for example, hydropropylmethyl cellulose, ethylcellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, multilayer coatings, microparticles, multiparticulates, liposomes, microspheres, or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions. Suitable controlled- or sustained-release formulations known to those in the art, including those described herein, can be readily selected for use with the active ingredients of the disclosure. The disclosure thus encompasses single unit dosage forms suitable for oral administration such as, but not limited to, tablets, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets that are adapted for controlled- or sustained-release.

Controlled- or sustained-release pharmaceutical compositions can have a common goal of improving drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled or non-sustained-release counterparts. In one embodiment, a controlled- or sustained-release composition comprises a minimal amount of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound to treat or prevent the Condition or a symptom thereof in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of controlled- or sustained-release compositions include extended activity of the drug, reduced dosage frequency, and increased compliance. In addition, controlled- or sustained-release compositions can favorably affect the time of onset of action or other characteristics, such as blood levels of the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound, and can thus reduce the occurrence of adverse side effects.

Controlled- or sustained-release compositions can initially release an amount of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound that promptly produces the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect, and gradually and continually release other amounts of the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound to maintain this level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. To maintain a constant level of the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound in the body, the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound can be released from the dosage form at a rate that will replace the amount of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled- or sustained-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions, including but not limited to, changes in pH, changes in temperature, concentration or availability of enzymes, concentration or availability of water, or other physiological conditions or compounds.

The amount of the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound that is effective for the treatment or prevention of a Condition can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro and/or in vivo assays can optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed will also depend on, e.g., the route of administration and the seriousness of the Condition, and can be decided according to the judgment of a practitioner and/or each animal's circumstances. In other examples thereof, variations will necessarily occur depending upon the weight and physical condition (e.g., hepatic and renal function) of the animal being treated, the affliction to be treated, the severity of the symptoms, the frequency of the dosage interval, the presence of any deleterious side-effects, and the particular compound utilized, among other things.

Suitable effective dosage amounts, however, range from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 3000 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day, although they are, in certain embodiments, from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 2500 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day or from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 1000 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day. In another embodiment, the effective dosage amount is about 100 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day or less. In another embodiment, the effective dosage amount ranges from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 100 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound, in another embodiment, about 0.02 mg/kg of body weight to about 50 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day, and in another embodiment, about 0.025 mg/kg of body weight to about 20 mg/kg of body weight of the animal per day.

Administration can be as a single dose or as a divided dose. In one embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 24 hr until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 12 hr until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 8 hr until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 6 hr until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 4 hr until the Condition is abated. The effective dosage amounts described herein refer to total amounts administered; that is, if more than one Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is administered, the effective dosage amounts correspond to the total amount administered.

The methods for treating or preventing a Condition in an animal in need thereof can further comprise co-administering to the animal being administered an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound (i.e., a first therapeutic agent) a second therapeutic agent. In one embodiment, the second therapeutic agent is administered in an effective amount.

An effective amount of the second therapeutic agent will be known to those skilled the art depending on the agent. However, it is well within the skilled artisan's purview to determine the second therapeutic agent's optimal effective-amount range. An Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound and the second therapeutic agent combined can act either additively or synergistically to treat the same Condition, or they may act independently of each other such that the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound treats or prevents a first Condition and the second therapeutic agent treats or prevents a second disorder, which can be the same as the first Condition or another disorder. In one embodiment of the disclosure, where a second therapeutic agent is administered to an animal for treatment of a Condition (e.g., pain), the minimal effective amount of the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound will be less than its minimal effective amount would be where the second therapeutic agent is not administered. In this embodiment, the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound and the second therapeutic agent can act synergistically to treat or prevent a Condition. In one embodiment, an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is administered concurrently with a second therapeutic agent as a single composition comprising an effective amount of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound and an effective amount of the second therapeutic agent. Alternatively, a composition comprising an effective amount of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound and a second composition comprising an effective amount of the second therapeutic agent are concurrently administered. In another embodiment, an effective amount of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is administered prior or subsequent to administration of an effective amount of the second therapeutic agent. In this embodiment, the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound is administered while the second therapeutic agent exerts its therapeutic effect, or the second therapeutic agent is administered while the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound exerts its therapeutic effect for treating or preventing a Condition.

All product fractions were combined and evaporated under reduced pressure to provide a residue. The residue was suspended in deionized water (2 L), stirred for 10 min, and filtered under reduced pressure to remove any excess reactants. The remaining solids were taken up in MTBE (2 L), dried (MgSO₄), filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to provide 301 g of Compound 35, (1R,5S)-7-methylenebicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one, as a white crystalline solid (yield 67%).

Compound 53 (570.9 g, 2.07 mol) was taken up in AcOH (3 L). This mixture, with a total dissolved volume of 3.3 L, was divided into ten 330 mL batches. Under a hydrogen atmosphere, to each batch was added platinum (IV) oxide (9.40 g, 0.041 mol) and each batch was then hydrogenated at 50 psi for 16 h to 18 h. The batches were combined and filtered through CELITE. The filter cake was washed with AcOH (500 mL). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure at 70° C. to provide an oil. To the oil was added Et₂O (6 L). The mixture was stirred and cooled to 0° C. for 1 h. The white precipitate that formed was filtered under reduced pressure and washed with Et₂O (2 L) to provide 253.4 g of Compound 54, (1R,1′R,3R,3′R,5S,5′S)-9′-aza[3,9′-bi(bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan)]-3′-amine acetate (yield 35.3%).

To this mixture were added TEA (412.9 g, 4.08 mol, 3 eq) and 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene (194.2 g, 1.38 mol, 1 eq). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux, refluxed for 6 days, then cooled to 0° C. The yellow precipitate that formed was collected by filtration under reduced pressure. The filter cake was washed four times with DCM (2 L for each wash) and the filtrates were set aside. The remaining 91 g of solids, comprising recovered Compound 54, were dried and set aside.

In part 2, the reaction described in part 1 above was repeated using the recovered Compound 54 starting material except DMF (2 L) and K₂CO₃ (3 eq) were used. After stirring for 2 h at 110° C., the reaction mixture was cooled to a temperature of about 25° C. and poured into deionized water (4 L).

The extent of in vitro metabolic stability of several Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds was determined upon exposure to human liver microsomes or rat liver microsomes. Liver microsomes from Crj;CD rats or humans were incubated with 2 μM of each tested Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound; thereafter, the supernatant was analyzed by HPLC/MS for the concentration of the tested compound present.

Human liver microsomes, pooled, 20 mg/mL, were obtained from XenoTech LLC (Lexena, Kans., cat# H0610). Rat liver microsomes were obtained from 8-week-old Crj:CD (SD) male rats. Alternatively and if desired, rat liver microsomes can be obtained commercially from, e.g., XenoTech (Sprague-Dawley rat liver microsomes, pooled, 20 mg/mL, cat# R1000). β-NADPH (β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide T-phosphate reduced tetrasodium salt hydrate) was obtained from Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan).

Each tested Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound or other compound of interest, present at a concentration of 2 μM, was incubated at 37° C. in the presence of 0.5 mg/mL of either human microsomes or rat microsomes in suspension in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (7.4 pH), 150 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl₂, and 1 mM β-NADPH. Incubation was initiated upon the addition of a 100-fold concentrated solution of the tested compound to one of the microsome preparations. Incubation was terminated by addition of a two-fold volume of a 1/1 mixture of MeCN/MeOH after either 0 minutes or 30 minutes of incubation at 37° C. Thereafter, proteins and other macromolecules from the microsome preparation were removed by centrifugation. All incubations were conducted in duplicate.

The mean tested compound concentration was determined after 0 minutes or 30 minutes of incubation using an HPLC/MS apparatus. The HPLC system consisted of a Waters 2795 Separations Module (Waters Corp., Milford, Mass.) equipped with an inline degasser, temperature controlled auto-sampler, and column oven. The analytical column was a Waters Atlantis C18 3.5 μm, 2.1 mm×20 mm column. The mass analyzer was a Waters ZQ, single quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source (ESI) operating in the positive ionization mode and utilizing a stainless steel spray capillary.

A 5 μL volume of the supernatant obtained after each incubation was injected into the above-described reverse-phase column maintained at a temperature of about 25° C. and eluted using a solvent gradient (solvent A is 0.1% aqueous formic acid, solvent B is MeCN). The HPLC elution conditions were as follows: 5% of solvent B (with the balance solvent A); followed by a linear gradient to 90% of solvent B in 0.1 min; followed by 90% of solvent B for 2.9 min; followed by a gradient to 5% of solvent B in 0.1 min. The column was then equilibrated with 5%/95% of solvent B/solvent A for 1.5 min before the next injection. The flow rate was kept constant at 0.4 mL/min. The MS was operated in the selected ion recording (SIR) mode. The capillary energy and cone energy were 1.5-2.5 kV and 20-40V, respectively.

The percentage of tested compound remaining after 30 minutes of incubation in the presence of either human liver microsomes or rat liver microsomes was calculated from the determinations of the mean tested compound concentration after 0 minutes and 30 minutes of incubation. These results, for several Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds and certain other compounds of interest, are shown in Table 16.

As can be noted from the results in Table 16, for three “pairs” of compounds the metabolic stability upon exposure to one source of liver microsomes is significantly reduced for the “d=2” compound relative to the counterpart “d=1” Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound. For example, the metabolic stability of Compound CC02 upon exposure to human liver microsomes, i.e., the amount of the compound remaining after 30 minutes of incubation relative to the initial amount present after 0 minutes of incubation (expressed as a percentage of the initial amount) is only 58%. In contrast, the metabolic stability of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound B20a(ii) upon exposure to human liver microsomes is much greater: 70%. In another example, the metabolic stability of Compound CC03 upon exposure to rat liver microsomes is only 33%. In contrast, the metabolic stability of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound C2a(ii) upon exposure to rat liver microsomes, 86%, is 2.6 times greater (86%/33%). In a further example, the metabolic stability of Compound CC04 upon exposure to rat liver microsomes is only 14%. In contrast, the metabolic stability of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound C20a(ii) upon exposure to rat liver microsomes, 62%, is over 4.4 times greater (62%/14%). Based on these in vitro results, it is believed that Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds are effective in resisting metabolism by the liver in vivo and, thus, more effective in ORL-1 receptor modulation.

5.15 Example 15 In Vitro Assay of Free Unbound Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds

The extent of in vitro binding of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound B20a(ii) to rat serum was determined as an assessment of the availability of free unbound compound for modulating receptor activity. Serum from rats containing a tested compound in one chamber of a dialysis cell was dialyzed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) in the other chamber; thereafter, the supernatant from each chamber was analyzed for the concentration of the tested compound present.

0.5 mg/kg of each tested Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound or other compound of interest was solubilized in 1/1 N,N-dimethylacetamide/1,2-propane diol. Control rat serum was obtained as the supernatant product after coagulation and centrifugation (3000 rpm for 10 min at 4° C.) of whole blood taken via cannula inserted into the jugular vein of rats (Crl:CD (SD), male, fed). 50 μL of each tested compound solution was added to 1.2 mL of control rat serum. The final concentration of each tested compound in the serum sample was adjusted to 2 μg/mL by adding an appropriate volume of PBS. A cell suitable for equilibrium dialysis was used in the determinations. A SPECTRA/POR dialysis membrane (with molecular mass cutoff of 12,000-14,000 Da, Spectrum Laboratories, Inc., Rancho Dominguez, Calif.) separated the dialysis cell into two chambers. A 500 μL aliquot of the serum sample containing a tested compound was applied to one chamber (serum chamber) of the dialysis cell. A 500 μL aliquot of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was applied to the other chamber (PBS chamber) of the dialysis cell. The dialysis study was conducted in duplicate for each tested compound.

After 24 h of equilibrium dialysis at 37° C., 30 μL of liquid from the serum chamber of the dialysis cell was collected and to this was added 270 μL of fresh PBS (this combination was designated Sample “A”). Then, 270 μL of liquid from the PBS chamber of the dialysis cell was collected and to this was added 30 μL of control rat serum (this combination was designated Sample “B”). A 5-10 fold volume of MeOH was added to each of Samples A and B. Thereafter, each was mixed vigorously with the MeOH and then centrifuged (3000 rpm for 10 min at 4° C.). Each supernatant was analyzed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (LC-MS/MS).

For each tested compound, the mean amount of tested compound present in each of Samples A and B was determined from the peak areas obtained via LC-MS/MS analysis. Thereafter, the percentage of free unbound tested compound was calculated from the ratio of the tested compound amount determined from Sample B divided by the sum of the tested compound amounts determined from Sample A and Sample B. These results, for Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound B20a(ii) and another compound of interest, CC02, are shown in Table 16.

As can be noted from the results in Table 16 for the above “pair” of compounds, the free unbound drug fraction is significantly lower for the “d=2” compound relative to the counterpart “d=1” Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound. Specifically, the free unbound drug fraction of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound B20a(ii) is 3.3%. In contrast, the free unbound drug fraction of Compound CC02 is only 1.2%. Thus, the amount of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound B20a(ii) available for, inter alia, receptor modulation, is over 2.7 times greater (3.3%/1.2%).

5.16 Example 16 In Vivo Assays for Prevention or Treatment of Pain

Test Animals Each experiment used rats weighing between 200-260 g at the start of the experiment. The rats were group-housed and had free access to food and water at all times, except prior to oral administration of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound when food was removed for 16 hours before dosing. A control group acted as a comparison to rats treated with an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound. The control group was administered the carrier for the Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound. The volume of carrier administered to the control group was the same as the volume of carrier and Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound administered to the test group.

Acute Pain To assess the actions of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound for the treatment or prevention of acute pain, the rat tail flick test can be used. Rats are gently restrained by hand and the tail exposed to a focused beam of radiant heat at a point 5 cm from the tip using a tail flick unit (Model 7360, commercially available from Ugo Basile of Italy). Tail flick latencies are defined as the interval between the onset of the thermal stimulus and the flick of the tail. Animals not responding within 20 seconds are removed from the tail flick unit and assigned a withdrawal latency of 20 seconds. Tail flick latencies are measured immediately before (pre-treatment) and 1, 3, and 5 hours following administration of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound. Data are expressed as tail flick latency(s) and the percentage of the maximal possible effect (% MPE), i.e., 20 seconds, is calculated as follows:

${\% \mspace{14mu} {MPE}} = {\frac{\left\lbrack {\left( {{post}\mspace{14mu} {administration}\mspace{14mu} {latency}} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}\mspace{14mu} {latency}} \right)} \right\rbrack}{\left( {20\mspace{11mu} s\mspace{14mu} {pre}\text{-}{administration}\mspace{14mu} {latency}} \right)} \times 100}$

The rat tail flick test is described in D'Amour et al., “A Method for Determining Loss of Pain Sensation,” J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 72:74-79 (1941).

Inflammatory Pain: To assess the actions of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory pain, the Freund's complete adjuvant (“FCA”) model of inflammatory pain can be used. FCA-induced inflammation of the rat hind paw is associated with the development of persistent inflammatory mechanical hyperalgesia and provides reliable prediction of the anti-hyperalgesic action of clinically useful analgesic drugs (Bartho et al., “Involvement of capsaicin-sensitive neurons in hyperalgesia and enhanced opioid antinociception in inflammation,” Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacol. 342:666-670 (1990)). The left hind paw of each animal is administered a 50 μL intraplantar injection of 50% FCA. 24 hour post injection, the animal is assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining the PWT, as described below. Rats are then administered a single injection of 1, 3, 10 or 30 mg/kg of either an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound; 30 mg/kg of a control selected from Celebrex, indomethacin, and naproxen; or carrier. Responses to noxious mechanical stimuli are then determined 1, 3, 5 and 24 hours post administration. Percentage reversal of hyperalgesia for each animal is defined as:

${\% \mspace{14mu} {Reversal}} = {\frac{\left\lbrack {\left( {{post}\mspace{14mu} {administration}\mspace{14mu} {PWT}} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}{\mspace{11mu} \;}{PWT}} \right)} \right\rbrack}{\left\lbrack {\left( {{baseline}\mspace{14mu} {PWT}} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}{\mspace{11mu} \;}{PWT}} \right)} \right\rbrack} \times 100}$

Neuropathic Pain: To assess the actions of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound for the treatment or prevention of neuropathic pain, either the Seltzer model or the Chung model can be used.

In the Seltzer model, the partial sciatic nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain was used to produce neuropathic hyperalgesia in rats (Seltzer et al., “A Novel Behavioral Model of Neuropathic Pain Disorders Produced in Rats by Partial Sciatic Nerve Injury,” Pain 43:205-218 (1990)). Partial ligation of the left sciatic nerve was performed under isoflurane/O₂ inhalation anaesthesia. Following induction of anesthesia, the left thigh of the rat was shaved and the sciatic nerve exposed at high thigh level through a small incision and was carefully cleared of surrounding connective tissues at a site near the trocanther just distal to the point at which the posterior biceps semitendinosus nerve branches off of the common sciatic nerve. A 7-0 silk suture was inserted into the nerve with a 3/8 curved, reversed-cutting mini-needle and tightly ligated so that the dorsal 1/3 to 1/2 of the nerve thickness was held within the ligature. The wound was closed with a single muscle suture (4-0 nylon (Vicryl)) and vetbond tissue glue. Following surgery, the wound area was dusted with antibiotic powder. Sham-treated rats underwent an identical surgical procedure except that the sciatic nerve was not manipulated. Following surgery, animals were weighed and placed on a warm pad until they recovered from anesthesia. Animals were then returned to their home cages until behavioral testing began. The animal was assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining PWT for the rear paw of the animal, as described below, prior to surgery (baseline) then immediately prior to and 1, 3, 5, and 7 hours after oral drug-in-vehicle administration. Percentage reversal of neuropathic hyperalgesia at each of the specified times after administration was defined as:

${\% \mspace{14mu} {Reversal}} = {\frac{\left\lbrack {\left( {{post}\mspace{14mu} {administration}\mspace{14mu} {PWT}} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}{\mspace{11mu} \;}{PWT}} \right)} \right\rbrack}{\left\lbrack {\left( {{baseline}\mspace{14mu} {PWT}} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}{\mspace{11mu} \;}{PWT}} \right)} \right\rbrack} \times 100}$

Additionally, 10 mg/kg of pregabalin, an anticonvulsant accepted for relief of particular neuropathic pain, and the vehicle alone (0.5% methylcellulose in aqueous solution) were administered as controls. Eight rats that underwent partial ligation of the left sciatic nerve were used for each treatment group except for pregabalin, where six rats were treated. The results for administration of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound L2b(ii) are provided in Table 17.

TABLE 17 Neuropathic Pain Relief after Administration of an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound % Reversal [mean ± SEM] Time after Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Administration Piperidine Compound L2b(ii) Pregabalin Vehicle (hours) 1 mg/kg 3 mg/kg 10 mg/kg 10 mg/kg 2 mL/kg Pre-administration 0 0 0 0 0 1 37.5 ± 10.2 39.0 ± 6.3 39.3 ± 7.6  23.4 ± 0.6  −5.7 ± 3.1 3 42.5 ± 7.6  46.8 ± 5.7 42.4 ± 7.0  23.9 ± 7.5  −5.4 ± 3.1 5 39.4 ± 10.4 34.1 ± 6.5 33.1 ± 12.8 30.0 ± 6.1  −0.9 ± 2.6 7 33.7 ± 7.7  25.7 ± 6.5 29.5 ± 5.1  17.9 ± 10.1   1.2 ± 1.9 Additionally, eight rats that underwent sham surgery were used for each treatment group described in Table 17; the % reversal results at 1, 3, 5, or 7 hours after administration ranged from a low of 71.1% reversal (±2.2; vehicle after 1 hr) to a high of 95.3% reversal (±2.9; 3 mg/kg Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound L2b(ii) after 3 hrs).

As demonstrated by the results in Table 17, administration of 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg of Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound L2b(ii) provided more effective reversal than the pregabalin control at all the measured time-points following administration. Thus, Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compounds are effective in relieving neuropathic pain in vivo.

In the Chung model, the spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain is used to produce mechanical hyperalgesia, thermal hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia in rats. Surgery is performed under isoflurane/O₂ inhalation anaesthesia. Following induction of anaesthesia, a 3 cm incision is made and the left paraspinal muscles are separated from the spinous process at the L₄-S₂ levels. The L₆ transverse process is carefully removed with a pair of small rongeurs to identify visually the L₄-L₆ spinal nerves. The left L₅ (or L₅ and L₆) spinal nerve(s) is isolated and tightly ligated with silk thread. A complete hemostasis is confirmed and the wound is sutured using non-absorbable sutures, such as nylon sutures or stainless steel staples. Sham-treated rats undergo an identical surgical procedure except that the spinal nerve(s) is not manipulated. Following surgery animals are weighed, administered a subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of saline or ringers lactate, the wound area is dusted with antibiotic powder and they are kept on a warm pad until they recover from the anesthesia. Animals are then returned to their home cages until behavioral testing begins. The animals are assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining PWT, as described below, prior to surgery (baseline), then immediately prior to and 1, 3, and 5 hours after being administered an Azetidine-Substituted Quinoxaline-Type Piperidine Compound for the left rear paw of the animal. The animal can also be assessed for response to noxious thermal stimuli or for tactile allodynia, as described below. The Chung model for neuropathic pain is described in Kim, “An Experimental Model for Peripheral Neuropathy Produced by Segmental Spinal Nerve Ligation in the Rat,” Pain 50(3):355-363 (1992).

Response to Mechanical Stimuli as an Assessment of Mechanical Hyperalgesia: The paw pressure assay can be used to assess mechanical hyperalgesia. For this assay, hind paw withdrawal thresholds (PWT) to a noxious mechanical stimulus are determined using an analgesymeter (Model 7200, commercially available from Ugo Basile of Italy) as described in Stein, “Unilateral Inflammation of the Hindpaw in Rats as a Model of Prolonged Noxious Stimulation: Alterations in Behavior and Nociceptive Thresholds,” Pharmacol. Biochem. Behavior 31:451-455 (1988). The maximum weight that could be applied to the hind paw is set at 250 g and the end point is taken as complete withdrawal of the paw. PWT is determined once for each rat at each time point and either only the affected (ipsilateral) paw is tested, or both the ipsilateral and contralateral (non-injured) paw are tested.

Response to Thermal Stimuli as an Assessment of Thermal Hyperalgesia: The plantar test can be used to assess thermal hyperalgesia. For this test, hind paw withdrawal latencies to a noxious thermal stimulus are determined using a plantar test apparatus (commercially available from Ugo Basile of Italy) following the technique described by Hargreaves et al., “A New and Sensitive Method for Measuring Thermal Nociception in Cutaneous Hyperalgesia,” Pain 32(1):77-88 (1988). The maximum exposure time is set at 32 seconds to avoid tissue damage and any directed paw withdrawal from the heat source is taken as the end point. Three latencies are determined at each time point and averaged. Either only the affected (ipsilateral) paw is tested, or both the ipsilateral and contralateral (non-injured) paw are tested.

Assessment of Tactile Allodynia: To assess tactile allodynia, rats are placed in clear, plexiglass compartments with a wire mesh floor and allowed to habituate for a period of at least 15 minutes. After habituation, a series of von Frey monofilaments are presented to the plantar surface of the left (operated) foot of each rat. The series of von Frey monofilaments consists of six monofilaments of increasing diameter, with the smallest diameter fiber presented first. Five trials are conducted with each filament with each trial separated by approximately 2 minutes. Each presentation lasts for a period of 4-8 seconds or until a nociceptive withdrawal behavior is observed. Flinching, paw withdrawal or licking of the paw are considered nociceptive behavioral responses.
